Barcelona club regains one of its key players, Brazilian forward Raphinha, ahead of the match against Girona on Monday evening, with expectations of his significant impact on the team's offensive and defensive performance.

The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" explained that Raphinha conducted his first group training session on Saturday, and he is expected to be included in the match squad, even if he doesn't start as a main player. The player's impact is clearly evident through the numbers, as Barcelona scores an average of 2.82 goals per match with him compared to 2.33 without him, and the number of goals conceded decreases from 1.8 without Raphinha to 0.77 with him.

Raphinha also enhances the defensive performance, with the percentage of successful duels rising from 61.15% to 63.15%, and an increase in possessions, interceptions, and recoveries in the opponent's half, highlighting his significant role in balancing the team between attack and defense.

Coach Hans Flick asserts that the return of Raphinha provides the team with additional strength and a greater ability to adjust results and achieve victories, especially before the decisive matches in the league, the Champions League, and the King's Cup.

With the player's recovery progressing and his growing confidence, Raphinha is expected to be a decisive factor in leading Barcelona to regain its form and achieve positive results in upcoming matches.
